I HAVE BOOBS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my weight has gone up to 140.5 and i am tickled to death. my face no longer looks like death warmed over and i have some small boobs now. when i was 126 i looked horrible.  being older and that skinny just don't mix. 

take my advice and when you set your goal weight, listen to your doc.  my surgeon wanted me to go down to 165 at first but i wanted 130 or so.  well i looked horrible at 126. my doc ordered me to get to 145 at least after he saw me.  i finally got up to 140 and i look a hell of a lot better.

my vanity just got caught up in the whole thing. i should have listened to my doc in the first place. i must admit though that i didn't try to get down to that weight.  it just happened.  trying to get to 140 was a major effort though. so if you see you are getting too much below what your doc wants, please put the brakes on. it is easier not to lose than it is to gain weight.

good luck to everybody.  vick

Sooooooooooo glad you are back to a healthier happier weight! AND have some boobs again! lol.
My doc wanted me to stop at 170. Now that did NOT do it for me. I am now at 154, and would still like to hit my goal of 150, maybe 140... we shall see. BUT I am officially at a normal BMI now, and if i should stay right here, I will not be unhappy.

Keep on staying healthy!

Wonderful that you have boobs again.  Nothing more exciting than being happy with yourself.  I'm glad you're at a weight your more comfortable with.

I don't know that my doctor gave me a goal weight.  I'm at 155.  I'm within 3 pounds of my 100 lb goal.  I was told that I should be between 126-139 for my height 5'4".  My personal goal is 130.  We'll see.  I guess I should ask him in July when I see him again what he thinks my goal weight should be.  My BMI is 26.6 so I guess I still weigh too much.

26.6 isn't bad.  real close to normal.  good luck on your journey. vick

 keep up the great work!

thanks, you too. vick

I am 5'4" and my current goal weight is 145, but I personally would like to get to 135, but I will just have to wait and see.  I think when you are older you can't go quite as thin as hwen you were youger. i will again, just have to wait and see.

Boobs, Boobs, those wonderful Boobs.  Didn't have any when I was young.  I was a carpenters dream, flat on all sides. LOL.  Not really, I always had a butt.  It's when you stomach sticks out on one side and your but on the other that you really get this wierd shape.  I wear a 42C right now, and when I was 21 I wore a 32 A and could fold the cups over.  So, it will be interesting to see what they will become,  Someing Long I am sure.  Since I really don't care except esthetically, it would be nice to have some as DH seems to like them.  He keeps patting them and saying goodbye. 

This has been good for me.  Needed to smile.  Vicki your wonderful and love you and kathy and Patrece.  Stay safe, have a Happy Mother's Day.

Vickie,

I'm so happy for you and I'm glad you're boobs are making a comeback!  That was the first place I noticed I was losing weight in.  My PCP says there is no way I should try to get to 145; he says that's way too low.  But that puts me at a healthy BMI which was my goal.

Anyway, it sounds like you are really happy with the way you look and feel and I'm very happy for you.

Yay Vickie! I'm so happy for you that you have been able to get back up that close to where your Doc wants you. And to have boobs again must be great too! I'm glad you like what you see when you look in the mirror.

Both my surgeon and my PCP set a goal of 178 for me. That's a little high and I will be still be considered "slightly overweight", but I have a very large frame and would look very bad at the weight listed on the insurance charts for a female of my height. The smallest I have ever been as an adult was 160, at age 19. I am now smaller than I have been in the last 24 years and it is wonderful. I'm looking forward to getting closer and closer to my goal!
